PZL P.8 was a Polish fighter aircraft designed by Zygmunt Puławski, from the family of fighters with Polish wing (also called the Puławski wing), developed and produced by Państwowe Zakłady Lotnicze (PZL) in the early 1930s.

[1] The airframe of the PZL P.8 continued Puławski's theme of semi-monocoque stressed skin Aluminium alloy structure with fabric covered control surfaces.

The special heat exchangers caused cooling difficulties and were replaced by small radiators either side of the rear fuselage aft of the cockpit.

Beset by cooling problems and with the death of Puławski in 1931, the Department of Aeronautics could not be persuaded to continue with development of V-12 powered fighters, continuing development of the radial engined PZL P.7.
